Your question is confusing. If you want to replace just a tire and not the entire wheel, replace the tire with another of the same size, in your case another 700c. If you want to get more confused about bike tire sizing (And possibly then become less confused),
this is a useful link which gives explanations and tables of various tire sizes.
